Unfinished Furniture

We all get the creative urge once in a while, but unless we have an unfound talent, we are usually limited in what we can do. I like to do all types of things, and this usually means that I wander around looking for something new to try that might not be too complicated for my limited time and talents. One thing that I have found that is a lot of fun is unfinished furniture and other things made from wood. These are already half done, and you simply add your own artistic touch to them. They can be great additions to any home or other space.

What is great about unfinished furniture is that you can save money buying it, and you can do it up to match what you have in your home or office space already. That means you may go out and find the most amazing and comfortable rocking chair, but it is left unfinished so that you can pick the varnish or even the paint that will match the rest of your décor.

Mission Furniture For Your Home

Mission style furniture is a style that is popular nowadays. Although most often mistaken for a more contemporary style, the furniture has a history that extends even as far as the 19th century.

Joseph McHugh was the first one to coin the term ‘mission’ to describe a line of furniture with a characteristic clean rural style back in 1895. Mission furniture was the first fruit of the Arts and Crafts movement, a movement that addresses the call for uniqueness, craftsmanship and creativity that seemingly got undermined by the industrial revolution. During the industrial revolution, many goods were mass produced and so the artistic side of creating products were not that emphasized anymore. The originality and unique designs were lost when everything can be produced by machines. The furniture was statement pieces that were designed distinct from urban designs that were mass produced. Their clean, rustic style was the key characteristics of the mission . The simplicity of these pieces of furniture gave the artistic flair to any room in the home. The designs, however simple are intricately made.

Most furniture created in the mission design has mixed very well with more contemporary furniture, resulting to confusion. Many mistake mission pieces for more contemporary designs and themes. But the mission design can be easily recognized via the details that the furniture possesses. Most mission style furniture are characterized by simple designs that contain mostly flat lines and slats that contain no soft frills and curves. The legs of the furniture are usually straight and supported by beams or stretchers.
